Dear Sir- The discovery in this city of a new diuretic is saving thousands of lives. It is hard for people to believe who are not eye witnesses. You as a brother druggist well know that up to this time chronic Bright's Disease and Diabetes have been necessarily fatal. It is so no longer. And I not only know this by being on the ground but I was also one of the patients.

I had both Bright's Dis'ease and Diabetes and looked upon death as inevitable. I was so prejudiced I wouldn't buy the treatment. I couldn't believe it. So they it to me to prove it. I not only recovered but nave since given it to somewhere near fifty patients and know of only three or four failures.

I am a pioneer druggist of this city; have been doing business on my own premises for forty-eight years, and I now declare to you on the honor of a brother pharmacist the absolute curability of these dread diseases in about nine-tenths of all cases.

In fact, after moat searching testa and rigid inquiry into the record of Dr. David Kennedy's Remedy, it becomes a dntr to recommend its nse in unequivocal term to every reader of this journal whose complaint comes within the list of ailments which this remedy is advertised to core.

VtaHora Sliona the Ilcgnlar Order at Uurttnon, The open meeting at tjie high school in the assembly room last night was a big success. When Guy Kepler, the president, called the meeting to order at 7:45 thte assembly room was filled with members of the Forum and visitors. The purpose of the open meeting was-to show the visitors what the Forum ddes at its regular meeting, so the regular order of things was carried out. After teh roll call, excuses for absence at meeting, Kendrick Glle and Otho Hopson were Initiated nto the society. The following Pio- gram was then givevn: Oration--Edgai Peteis.

Reading--Walter Freyburger. Declamation--Carl Watkins United- States Should Annex no New Territory," Guy Kep- Readlngc--Albert Ross. Piano Solo--Arthur VanCleve. Debate--Resolved, That a sing-le tax on land would be better than the present system of taxation. The affirmative was held by Edward Ross and Eugene Gingrich, the negative by Fred Webber and John Lyons.

The judges, Miss Nellie Connard, Mr. Brown and Walter Freyburger, decided in favor ot the negative Music--Forum Quartet, Arthur VanCleve, Cailton Mattes, Howard Wise and Harold Mills. Current Events--George Byrne. Essay--Eail Frazier. The program taken as a whole was very good.

The declamation by Carl iVatkms was perhaps the best single lumber. The piano solo by Arthur VanClever also received much applause. The music by the quarted pleased the audience Immensely. Mibs Clark accompanied the quartet and It was argely through her direction that yuartet made such a hit last night. There were many good arguments brought forth in the debate, but the negative made the mistake of talking oo long.

There was no time limit to he debate und they tired mo.st ot their icareis The negative, however, made he best arguments, and were justly entitled to the decision of the judges, flic affirmative haft the best delivery. YELLS Mr. Hanson acted as critic, and In the name of the Forum Invited the vis- tois to attend more of tiie regular meetings. After the meeting had adjourned the Forum gave some of its veils, and the members of the class of 03 made quite a good deal of noise with their yells. The exercises closed it 10 15, and everyone seemed pleased with the meeting'.

CASTOR IA For Infimti and Children, The Kind You Hava Always Bought Bears the Catarrh Cured Without Drugs Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe, Kills the Germs and Cures the Disease. Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly and permanently, because it reaches the smallest air cells in the head, throat and lungs, kills the germs cans ing the disease and drives it from the system. Hyomei goes to the root of the disease, destroys the cause, and makes permanent cures which can be effected in no other way. Breathe it for a few minutes four times a day and benefit will be seen at once.

Continue this treatment for a few weeks and Hyomei will have cured you. The Hyomei breathed through the neat pocket inhaler furnished with each outfit mingles with the air yon breathe. It is a local and direct treatment for eradicating all catarrh germs in the mucous membrane and tissues and irt this way cures catarrh in any part of the system. Used in connection with Hyomei Balm it has been successful in curing the worst and most deep-seated cases of catarrhal deafness. The complete Hyomei outfit costs and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper.

The inhaler will last a lifetime; and additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 5oc. than any claims that can be made in an advertisement, is the fact that H. W. Bell will give his per- sonali'gtiai'antee wifh every Hyomei outfit he sells to refund the money if I jthe purchaser can say that Hyomei no't'giveh satisfaction.

The tougli boy wore a dirty red sweater, a cup on the back of his head, cont too nmtiU for him und trousers which struck him at ankle. His fingers were stained from cigarette smoking and he sat with un ulr of amused dejection. One by one the superintendents' callers received und gradually the tojigh boy was only one left.

Did you ever talk through a 'phone?" "No.

sir," responded the boy. "Well, that's one thing you'll learn rlgh't here," mild the Kupurlntendent as he raised' the telephone receiver and called for tht number he wanted. After talking to the principal he called the boy to the 'phone. "Take the receiver and press It close to your, ear, said he. "Now say.

'Good morning, Mr. Tyler'." "Good mornln' Mr. Tyler," repeated him that Mr. Wiley Is going to let you come back to school: that you have promised him you won play hookey anymore, and that you 11 behave yourself." The hoy repeated Mr. Wlloy's statement.

The reorder demand for staple-colored taiCetas has begun, and all the local houses arsi receiving good orders for staple shades that conform with the popular dress goods list. Aside from these staple shades the demand for bright green and blue shades Is dtiltf exceptional for tnls stage of the season.

Most Of the medium grade taffetas are turned out with more painstaking than formerly. They wear better and give better gentta! satisfaction.

It appears that plain or changeable taffetas will remain In favor indefinitely, as no other weaves seem to successfully supplant them. LIKE CANDY? DON'T AGREE? HARD LINES?
